Lamberhurst Quarter Landlord Roof Survey

- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Blocked gutters over flats
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Lamberhurst Quarter can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Advice
About our landlord roof survey in Lamberhurst Quarter
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told in advance. Your agent or you arrange access and we’ll say what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. Typical surveys look at mortar falling from ridges and verges and standing water on a flat roof, on converted houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
In a village or hamlet like Lamberhurst Quarter, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

What we’re asked to look at in Lamberhurst Quarter
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Landlords with a home close to Frant station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
